Hiyas,

You may laugh, but back in the day many will remember the quite considerable
lobby that maintained that DOM+Script was a better alternative to XSLT, and
as such effort shouldn't be wasted on XSL.... yes I was just as amazed by
the arguement.

For the protection of the innocent I'll leave out names =)

Cheers
    Guy.
